I Hate Everyone...Starting With Me

Joan Rivers is a groundbreaking, award-winning, internationally renowned entertainment goddess. She’s also opinionated - especially when it comes to people she hates. Like people who think giving birth is a unique achievement. Or well-adjusted - a.k.a. boring - ex-child stars who don’t even have a decent addiction. With all of her diverse experiences, it stands to reason that Joan has seen, done, said, and heard a lot of hateful things. Thank god, she took notes.

“How do I hate thee? How much time do you have?”-Joan Rivers, today, about two-ish

Joan Rivers is a groundbreaking, award-winning, internationally renowned entertainment goddess. She’s also opinionated - especially when it comes to people she hates. Like people who think giving birth is a unique achievement. Or well-adjusted - a.k.a. boring - ex-child stars who don’t even have a decent addiction.

With all of her diverse experiences, it stands to reason that Joan has seen, done, said, and heard a lot of hateful things. Thank god, she took notes.

Here - uncensored and totally uninhibited - she give the best of her worst to First Ladies, closet cases, hypocrites, Hollywood, feminists, and overrated historical figures. And even when letting herself have it, Joan doesn’t hold back in this honest, unabashedly hilarious love letter to the hater in all of us.

Not funny, just old and tired. I love her shows shes witty and smart and in the now. This book might as well be telling mother in law jokes. Sad and embarrassing. I didn't even finish the book. I was really looking forward to it as well. Wasted my money don't waste yours.

I was ready to write a melting love letter to this book and its author-until I find how much had been left out! Can we talk here? Where was the part with the funny nicknames for all our 50 states? Where were some of the other hilarious jokes? What was there was excellent. I loved it to death. I've loved Joan Rivers since the early '80s when she subbef for Johnny Carson, and appeared on Hollywood Squares. What a hoot. solid 4 out of 5, should have been 5 but for the missing material.

I had to turn this off after about an hour and a half. I can only stand so much negativity and vitriol. I know I should have known buy the title, but I was just so sad when she died that I was hoping I would like it. Ah, well. I still love you, Joan!

Although I enjoy watching Joan Rivers in her comedy acts I did not like this audio. It came across a boring, hence the tile, and totally not funny. I only got about halfway through before I decided to quit listening.

I really like Joan Rivers but couldn't get past the first hour or so in this book. Just sounded like a lot of complaining and things she hates. Some are a little funny but after an hour of "I hate... I hate... I hate..." it gets old. Fast.

I laughed out loud in parts .very funny . Must remember not to take parts seriously though . She sees the funny side of most things

"A true laugh a minute."

Just wanted to say this book made me laugh out loud in explosive bursts (sometimes in public which was embarrassing) and I agree with Joan on about 85% of the things she hates. Maybe it's an age thing but she certainly gives it to us straight. Such brutal honesty is not only brave but hilariously funny. Yes she's cruel sometimes but she's also usually right!Loved it.

"Love Joan, Hate this one"

When you turn a book into audio, repetition gets very boring. I had hoped that with Joan reading her own book, it would be like one of her monologues. However this book has the phrase "I hate..." Repeated constantly, making it incredibly annoying. I could not finish this audio book and will request a return. Fail Joan.

"Very funny"

Very funny, She has the ability to laugh at herself and sometimes she can use a very offensive language but she is still very funny
